Newly elected ADANA Treasurer Reg Winkworth talks money - it's his job. But Reg walks the walk too...with fellow ADANA Maintenance Team member Peter Roberts and friends he organised a mass evening dog walk in early August from Castillo to Manilva and back. The dogs enjoyed the exercise as did the humans and a total of 284 euros was raised for ADANA.

"It's a great honour to have been voted back on the Board, this time as President. Thank you all for your vote of confidence. Our new team has to build on the excellent work of the previous Board and this we have already started to do. We plan to make a few changes at the shelter, longer opening hours, completion of works needed to obtain the all-important Nucleo Zoologico and we have plans for the Sanctuary land.

"We intend to restart the quarterly open members' meetings , the first to take place on Wednesday the 28th September at the Padre Manuel Centre, from 7p.m. to 8.30 p.m. The topic for discussion will be the running of the ADANA Shelter. Anyone interested in the work of ADANA will be welcomed. We need your views and input.

As in previous years, we were invited to visit Calpe school in San Pedro, to meet the children and chat to them about the work of ADANA, how to look after and approach a dog. As requested we took some puppies along so that the children could put into practice all that they had learnt.

We continue to welcome the children of various schools in Estepona to the shelter. After they walk up the mountain, Fernando does a fantastic job of showing them all (sometimes as many as 150!) around, explaining what we do and how we care for the dogs. He then expertly assembles them outside and patiently explains the importance of microchipping and castrating your pet.

Plucky (or mad) local resident, Brian Forgie, is setting off to Tennessee in the US to fulfill a lifelong dream of carrying out a HALO parachute jump.

This technique is often employed by special forces and stands for High Altitude Low Opening and involves leaving the aircraft at a high altitude, in this case around 9.5 kms and freefalling for some two and a half minutes before opening the 'chute.

Despite our best efforts the 100 club has not been a successful scheme and therefore we have made the decision to discontinue it with immediate effect.
